Kory Teneycke, Ford's campaign manager, has been publicly critical of Poilievre's campaign.
Given Ford's history, and the timing of the last Ontario election, it wouldn't be surprising if he wants to make a run for PM. That would be much easier if he could run against a Liberal in 2029.
BUT, with Carney's plan to rapidly increase the construction of homes
The LPC plan promises to increase the rate of construction to 500k units a year by 2035. CMHC says we need 3.5 million units by 2030 to return housing to affordable levels. Those two numbers aren't close enough.
Similarly, the plan relies on private builders for construction. Assuming they keep their current profit incentives, that maintains a significant cost to new construction.
Surprisingly, the plan doesn't address the shortage of skilled trades, either through training or immigration. The shrinking workforce will slow the rate of construction or installation of prefab homes.
The plan to bulk buy construction materials may have value, but I'm not sure that will have a significant impact on the final sticker price of a home.
The two pager released for the election doesn't explain how the promises will lower prices. It asks us to believe that building 500k units/ year by 2035 will lower prices without explaining how. I'm skeptical.
Eff you turds for downvoting objective fact you anti-intellectual turds. I’m as progressive and anti-corporate as it gets, you undereducated morons.
Lemmy can suck like that. If you post something that can be misconstrued outside of our tiny Overton window, you get downvotes. Lots and lots of downvotes.
Mmm. I love me a good fact check.
